20 Δεκ 2023 · In genetics, a carrier refers to an individual who carries a genetic mutation or alteration in their DNA but does not show any symptoms of the associated disorder or condition. This concept is particularly important in the context of genetic diseases, which are caused by mutations in specific genes.
24 Οκτ 2017 · One of the things that my biology students often struggle with is what exactly does it mean to be a carrier for a particular trait. This is a difficult concept because it seems odd that we might have the information in our DNA for a trait such as a disease but we don’t actually have the disease.
3 ημέρες πριν · Definition. A carrier, as related to genetics, is an individual who “carries” and can pass on to its offspring a genomic variant (allele) associated with a disease (or trait) that is inherited in an autosomal recessive or sex-linked manner, and who does not show symptoms of that disease (or features of that trait).
Definition. In genetics, a carrier is an individual who possesses one copy of a recessive allele that does not manifest as a dominant trait but can be passed on to offspring.
In genetics, the term carrier describes an organism that carries two different forms (alleles) of a recessive gene (alleles of a gene linked to a recessive trait) and is thus heterozygous for that the recessive gene.
Definition. In the context of genetics, a carrier is an individual who has inherited a recessive allele for a genetic trait or mutation but does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease.
